==Origin of name==
The district is named after its headquarters, Faridabad city. The city is named after its founder, Shaikh Farid, the treasurer of [[Jahangir]]. When Sheik Farid came here, he decided to raise a town here. Soon a town was raised which was named after him. On Talab Road near Gopi Colony (Old Faridabad), his beautiful tomb or `maqbara' can still be seen.
==History==
This district was carved out from erstwhile [[Gurgaon district]] 15 August 1979.
==Economy==
Faridabad was one of the leading industrial cities of Haryana, a popular choice for setting up industry due to its proximity to Delhi and its location on the [[Delhi]] - Mathura road. Much before the advent of Gurgaon as the posterboy for industrial development in Haryana, Faridabad was the favourite destination of Industries. Faridabad is famous for Heena Production on agriculture sector while tractors, motorcycles, switch gears, refrigerators, shoes and tyres are other famous industrial products of the city.
However, in recent times it has fallen much behind the neighbouring towns of [[Noida]], [[Okhla]] and [[Gurgaon]] in attracting new industry. The IT revolution has completely bypassed Faridabad, opting for the cities of Noida or Gurgaon instead. In part this was due to government apathy, in part due to the rising levels of pollution and congestion in the city.
